Sensational Kipchoge storms to Berlin victory

Eliud Kipchoge enhanced his reputation as one of the greatest marathon runners of all time with a stunning victory on the streets of Berlin on Sunday.

The Olympic champion charged to his second Berlin Marathon victory on a damp day in the German capital as the expected three-way challenge for the world record fell short.

Kipchoge produced a stunning recovery in the final kilometres to overtake debutant Guye Adola to take the victory in two hours, three minutes and 32 seconds – just shy of Dennis Kimetto's world record of 2:02:57.

All the pre-race hype was about the battle between Kipchoge, Wilson Kipsang and Kenenisa Bekele, but the Kenyan's rivals could not keep up.
